Great location and friendly people. A beautiful garden and a veeeery long beach. The ocean is not very easy to negotiate if you want a swim but there's a pool. The food was good. We tried two tipologies of room: the superior and the bungalow. Both are very clean but bungalow was our favorite.

Big problems with the payment, the second time the POS didn't work and they don't accept euros so an employee took us to the city to change the money but they don't know which bank can do it. We risked missing the flight to Denpasar and in the end I was forced to exchange euros in a shop losing 20% ​​of the value. Bring plenty of Indonesian rupiah.

What a gem in Sumba. A slice of paradise. All the staff were amazing and particularly Aloysius William who was painstakingly thorough in helping me navigate flights after the airport was shut due to volcanic ash. He kept me updated with news on flights which was so comforting. Dewi was also amazing but then all of the staff were fantastic and nothing was too much trouble. The swimming pool is a gem and the beach is pristine and perfect for early morning walk. I wil be back!

Nothing

one of the best and cleanest places to stay in Sumba. My bungalow was huge, spacious and well maintained. Bathroom without a rooftop was just great. I loved everything: access to the beach, swimming pool, a lot of greenery, no mosquitos, very friendly and English speaking staff, very tasty food. The best sambal I had in Sumba.I had a strong wifi in my bungalow- strong enough to have video conference. Rich breakfast included in a price of stay I love the location as well. 20mins drive to the airport but so calm and peaceful!!

Food was a bit overpriced. Toilet didn't flush properly in my bungalow

I liked the resort, is even better than pictures! The pool is clean, beautiful and has sofa stones in it! Such a dreamy place! Every room has space outside to do some yoga, workout and hang up the clothes for drying. There are a lot of butterflies during the day and frogs during the night (don’t worry because you will not hear them from the room during the night, they are just a beautiful asset when you go for an evening walk around) Is just near the beach, and you can see it from the room.

I believe they need to isolate better the rooms downstairs, too many millipedes come inside, especially when is raining a bit.

For a budget accommodation it was really good and I highly recommend it. This place is siutated on the beach with very easy access. The rooms were perfect for what we need, clean and had a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea. The food was great, big portions and the staff were lovely, maybe not that attentive but as soon as you asked something they were on it. They were so smiley and just really great! I would 100% come here again

We stayed at Mario on two occasions on this trip, once at the start and the end. It’s 20 mins from Tambulaka airport and is the perfect place to start to unwind and for preparing to complete a wonderful holiday. The staff are friendly and kind. The rooms are clean, well-considered and comfortable. Book the sea-view double, you won’t regret it when you wake up to the wide expanse of the sea outside your window. It’s right on the beach so you can enjoy the sand and expanse of salty sea, or lounge by the pool which, while some have noted looks strange in colour, but is cleaned every morning and is a saltwater based. Fantastic cos’ it’s great for your skin without the harshness of chlorine. Food is delicious. All in all, Mario is small enough to feel like home and still clearly a very well-maintained and cared for hotel.

Nothing. It’s a truly loving space.

The pool with the view among the palm trees, good food, directly on the beach. Shower outside with the sky view was really nice. The staff was very nice and helpful, we got the full itinerary written for 2 days (which was really good) and they helped to arrange the car and bike.

We didn't have mosquito net in the bungalow, not all rooms have it

Mario’s exceeded our expectations at the end of our Sumba holiday. It’s a well developed and designed hotel with rooms all facing the sea - as does the restaurant and the large pool. Only 20 minutes from the airport. Staff are friendly and responsive, although often not proactive. A great stay which we all appreciated

Nice place with beatifull view, quiet atmosphere and very helpful staff. We have been licku to be the only guests in the hotel for few days and it made our stay specifically comfortable. Sweeming pool is amazing with the cooling effect on hot Sumba.

Cannot Complain on anything, the quality matches the costs of the hotel.

Mario Hotel could not be in a better location! From the beautiful pool area you can walk down the steps and you are right on the beach. The beach is incredible, so clean and untouched and there wasn't another person in sight so very relaxing. The staff are so friendly and helpful and we were able to rent a motorbike and basic snorkeling gear from the hotel. Our room had great AC and was clean and comfortable. I would 100% recommend Mario to anyone visiting Sumba.

Our first room unfortunately had an active wasps nest in it, but the staff were quick to fix the problem and promptly moved us into a new room with an even better view of the ocean!
